TrapX® vs TrapX® Pro

Choosing the Right Smart Rodent Monitoring Solution

Rodents can cause serious damage to critical infrastructure. In environments like data centers, server rooms, and warehouses, traditional traps require constant manual inspection and provide no real-time visibility.

TrapX® Smart Rodent Detection Device and TrapX® Pro Smart Rodent Detection Device are intelligent rodent monitoring solutions designed to instantly notify users when rodent activity occurs.

Both devices detect when a rodent interacts with the trap or when a capture occurs, and immediately send alerts through the cloud to the user. The key difference between the two models lies in the communication technology used for connectivity.

Overview of TrapX® and TrapX® Pro

Both solutions are designed for professional environments where reliable rodent monitoring is critical.

Common applications include:

  • Data centers

  • Server rooms

  • Raised floor environments

  • False ceilings

  • Warehouses

  • Laboratories

  • Critical infrastructure facilities

(See complete use cases here)

The devices provide real-time alerts via mobile notifications, email, or SMS, allowing facility managers to respond quickly without manual trap inspections.

TrapX® (Wi-Fi Version)

TrapX® Smart Rodent Detection Device uses standard Wi-Fi connectivity to communicate with the cloud. This model connects directly to the facility’s existing wireless network, eliminating the need for additional networking hardware.

Key Benefits

Uses Existing Infrastructure
TrapX® connects to the facility’s Wi-Fi network, making deployment fast and simple.

Real-Time Alerts
Users receive instant notifications through the mobile app, email, or SMS when rodent activity or capture occurs.

Simple Installation
No gateway required; devices can be installed quickly and configured through the cloud platform.

Ideal for Strong Wi-Fi Coverage
Performs best in offices, open areas, and environments where Wi-Fi signals are stable.

TrapX® Pro (LoRa Version)

TrapX® Pro Smart Rodent Detection Device uses LoRa wireless communication, designed for challenging environments where Wi-Fi coverage may be limited.

TrapX® Pro communicates through a NoliX® Gateway, which connects devices to the cloud platform.

Key Benefits

Excellent Coverage in Complex Environments
LoRa signals perform well in areas with metal floors, server racks, concrete walls, or cable trays.

Long-Range Communication
A single NoliX® Gateway can cover large areas, including entire data centers, multiple rooms, or multiple floors.

Reliable in Shielded Areas
LoRa connectivity works effectively where traditional Wi-Fi signals may struggle.

Low Power Consumption
The efficient LoRa protocol helps extend device battery life.

Performance in Raised Floor Environments

Raised floors are common in data centers and critical infrastructure facilities, often containing dense cabling, metal panels, and equipment racks that can interfere with wireless signals.

  • TrapX® (Wi-Fi) performs well when strong Wi-Fi coverage is available.

  • TrapX® Pro (LoRa) is designed to maintain consistent performance even when signals must pass through obstacles.

For large or complex facilities, LoRa connectivity typically provides more reliable coverage.

Security and IT Compliance

Both TrapX® and TrapX® Pro are designed for enterprise environments.

Key features include:

  • Encrypted communication

  • Secure cloud connectivity

  • Unique device identification

  • Authentication-enabled communication

Devices transmit only small alert messages and do not require access to internal systems, making them suitable for high-security environments such as data centers.
